Hmmm, the format of response, the verbage " having buds drying is a HUGE security problem ", and "Anecdotal evidence is all over the net. Good scientific evidence is not. If you have some please point it out to me. " Kind of reminds me of a certian Aussie gentleman known to be very helpful...

Hey Al, Just wanted to let you know that thanks largely to your advice, the first grow went off without a further hitch. :weed: :clap: Attached are a few pics.. Harvested at diff times,(a bunch of colas arent pictured) but id say prob 3-4oz dry Thanks again for all the help! See you...

Correct, the microscope does all the focusing for the camera chip. .. I removed the lens completely, exposing the chip itself, so the only optics that come into play are the lenses of the microscope and the CCD chip on the camera circuit board. The first revision of this idea had the lens...

Yes this was just what I had laying around, i think a better quality cam is the ticket, for sure, but I cant be sure that the guts will be similar enough for the vinyl tube trick.. We stoners are an inventive lot though, Im sure theres a million ways to skin this cat :) If anyone makes one...

My mistake, i was quite baked when i wrote this, 35% @ 1.7 mL/L (6.4/gal) -\x0D :joint:

Yes it DOES sterilize the hydroponic solution,which is EXACTLY what you are after if you are using non-organic nutes. (GH Flora series,Canna, etc...) This keeps the root system healthy and kills pathogens,while delivering oxygen. Dose 35% h202( you can find this at your hydro store or online)...

Sounds like a case of mixed metaphors here- "cleaning the bottom 1/3 of your plant" (lolipopping) is a SOG technique used to promote maximum growth at the top cola by removing all lateral growth- a big bud on a stick. "That would promote super croping with main colas from1-5 oz" Super...

Temps are great, pull that HPS back to 12-14" and i bet you wil be fine:weed: Everything else ( ph, feeding schedule) sounds right on the money to me, although im much more of a hydro guy.. Any soil experts please correct me if im wrong! Best of Luck! -\x0D :bigjoint:

Ding Ding Ding!! I think we have a winner... Even in a cooltube, 5 inches is really pushing it.. You DO have a cooltube, right?? What are the temps in your op? Try running the light about 12-14 inches from the tops of the plants and see if the new growth looks better, If it is light burn , i...

More info is a good thing here , What medium are you growing in? Whats your PH? How often are you watering? what kind of light? How close? using Nutes? at what ppm? -\x0D :bigjoint:

First we start with a cheap $10 webcam from Walmart, and a $12 Radio Shack handheld microscope (p/n 63-1313). Take the camera apart as pictured.. Next remove the camera card from the case, and unscrew the lens, leaving just the chip exposed..( 2nd pic) Take a piece of...

Well- it looks like we made it, harvest time is right around the corner. Super-Sticky nugs that smell like Juicy Fruit!! Heres an early sample, one of the smaller colas. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with my noob questions, wouldnt have got here without you!! Al B, you in...

Hey Al, Hope all is well and you are swimming in big piles of sweet tooth :eyesmoke: I am thinking about starting up some new moms from clones, My current moms just donated their 6th pass ( started from seed). Because I am vegging under flouro, im not getting the 9", >5.5mm clones that I...

Once you have started your seedlings in soil, thats probably where you want to keep them.. Transplanting from soil to soiless media sounds like a bad idea. Why not grow these in soil , take clones once proper veg growth starts. Once you have the female clones rooted in 40mm RW cubes , (see...

Excerpt from Botanicare : Product Overview : Nutrients : "HYDROGUARD™ product composition: Bacillus subtilis, Paenibacillus polymxa, Bacillus circulans, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The guaranteed analysis is:CFU/Gram 1.7E x10 6." I doubt these guys are going to be swimming around...

well, being happily baked, i kept digging.. Turns out Hygrozyme is made by Sipco Industries (http://www.sipcobio.com/index.html), a biochemistry company whose main line seems to be medical enzymatic cleaners . They specifically mentioned gear like endoscopes on their list of items that...

You got me curious! http://www.bwgs.com/sendfile.asp?id={1A1781AB-73B0-4B94-98E1-1477D650536B} Heres the MSDS for it.. -\x0D :bigjoint:

(grabs a bag of popcorn , gets in bunker. LOL) :lol:

Just figured an update was in order, the leaf spotting seems to have stopped after bringing the PH up to 5.8... Ill probably keep posting progress pics here. -\x0D :joint:

You may be better off growing the 2 seeds into BIG mothers, then using your first run of clones to supplement your stock of moms. As well, if you can go to HID for the moms, you will get thicker, faster veg growth for cloning. Al B. Fuct runs a pretty cool setup that i am trying to replicate...
